The Deity And Incarnation Of Christ

Contributed by James Vilgos on Jan 10, 2005

Christ The Promise Of Glory Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 7, 2005

It’s a message that Paul describes in Romans 1 as the power of God for salvation. Yet the means by which this message is presented is so often ...read more

In particular we’re going to think about what’s involved in ambassadors of Christ doing their job to the best of their ability. Paul is aware of the urgency of the task, of the need for people to hear about ...read more
